Discussion 1 U2dis1- (word document attached)———–Using the Riverbend City: Strategic Planning for Community Needs media piece you completed in this unit’s study, focus on the public health issues and challenges each character described. The community is clearly at a critical inflection point where strategic approaches should be enacted to address the community’s pressing public health challenges. But where and how should the director of the local public health department begin?
Drawing from key learnings in your readings, identify and describe three of the six approaches to planning you feel the director of the local public health department should consider. Specifically, reference the community members’ concerns in your response. For each approach, provide a definition, the condition(s) for which it is best applied, and why you selected the approach.
Discussion 2—-(document attached )
Goals and Outcomes in Context
In the Riverbend City: Community Health Needs Assessment media piece you completed as part of this unit’s study, you had the opportunity to prioritize the public health issues voiced by the citizens. Now, apply what you have learned to a real-life community based on the Hennepin County Medical Center Community Health Needs Assessment, linked in the Resources.
Utilize the Initial List of Health Needs for Consideration section of the Hennepin County Medical Center Community Health Needs Assessment (pages 14–21) to complete the following: Review the 7 listed health needs, and select one. Be sure to identify your selection.
Relate your selection to 2–3 of the key qualitative themes from interviews for that health need. Use the data provided for the county, HCMC community, and specific neighborhood/population to further describe the health need you selected.
Align the health need and the key qualitative themes you have selected to the most significant health outcome you would expect to achieve at a community level. Be sure to explain your rationale.
DISCUSSION 3—-Chapter 5 of your textbook discussed the public health pyramid (Figure 1-2). At each level of this pyramid, health problems, relevant theories, and targeted interventions are delivered.
For this discussion post, do the following:
Refer to a specific level of the public health pyramid. This should be clearly named in your post.
Utilizing the health need you identified in this unit’s Goals and Outcomes in Context discussion, conduct a brief literature search of evidence-based interventions regarding the chosen health need. Identify and briefly describe the intervention. Remember, alignment is key here—if you identify “direct healthcare services” in the public health pyramid, the evidence-based intervention should in fact be one-to-one (at the individual level).
Cite and explain how the chosen evidence-based intervention has been utilized to impact a specific health outcome. (This does not have to be the outcome you identified in the Goals and Outcomes in Context discussion.)

The work is half done, I need to complete the template, and I will attach the professor comments to the work done the be clear on what needs to be done and fix 🙂
Professor comments: “You don’t have your cultural and ethical component in your results section. So go back and take a look at the directions and then you have to probably thin the rest of this results section out because you’re gonna be too long. The rest looks good just keep working on your conclusion.”

Similarly, nurse-scholars can build a personal brand to add visibility and credibility to their work. You can begin building your brand by developing and maintaining an academic portfolio. Such an activity can help share the results of your efforts and contribute to your success. Discuss, consider and share the strategies for building your portfolio in your career as a nurse.

A goal is a broad statement of a program purpose, while an objective describes results to be achieved and the way the results will be achieved. Why do you think it is important for public health programs to have SMART objectives?
Think of a health goal you are currently working on or one you have completed and describe it. Were you able to accomplish the goal? If not, do you think applying the SMART method to writing objectives would have assisted you in achieving that goal? If you did accomplish your goal, would applying SMART objectives have made it easier to accomplish? Why or why not? Select the same goal (if you were not able to accomplish it) or a different goal that you would like to achieve and write two SMART objectives for it.
Submit your assignment here. Make sure you’ve included all the required elements by reviewing the guidelines and rubric.

I already did the first two parts, So, I only need the last one as is explained. I NEED ONLY THE PRESENTATION
Part 3: Infographic
In the third part of the project, you will create an infographic (informational graphic) that reports on
your intervention proposal and explains how the intervention can increase the use of this health
behavior for the target population. Follow the instructions below:
a. Using the article information, health belief theories, and intervention that you outlined in Part
2, you will make an infographic that informs of this health-related problem and argues for the
use of your proposed intervention.
b. The infographic can take any form. What matters more is that you create an infographic that
includes the components listed in the grading rubric below.
i. The infographic should be informative and accurate, but also audio/visually
interesting. There are a few options:
1. Create a graphic ad using a program like Canva, Adobe, or PowerPoint.
2. Create a three-minute maximum video presentation (VoiceThread, Zoom
Recording, etc.).
3. Create a PowerPoint presentation with 7-10 slides.
4. Create and record a three-minute maximum audio recording (VoiceThread,
Zoom, etc.).
c. Once you’ve finished the assignment, submit your Part 3 infographic to the Assignments tab on
D2L by the due date.
I pick the presentation. For reference, an infographic can look like this one (please note, this is just to show how the
infographic can be organized. This particular example does not display information about health
behaviors or propose an intervention):

You will write a paper and corresponding presentation. The paper should be a minimum of 800 words and not more than 1000. Use sub-heads to divide up your paper. The presentation should not exceed 5 minutes. Practice before you present. Put your talking points in the powerpoint notes section (note: often there are problems w/ the audio/codec so if there are notes then I can just read through them). It makes your life and my life much easier. Make sure to double-check that your presentation works, replay to yourself. Topic: MACRO Analysis of the US Health Care System
Description: Use you knowledge from HAP 301 to give a macro/top-level review of the US Healthcare system. You can use any sources you want as long as they are legit. You can use the supplied textbook, journal articles, videos (e.g. CMS has a ton that are helpful). Make sure to insert your take on the significance. Note, there isn’t a right or wrong answer. Every penny has two-sides and each of these elements can even be multifaceted. I will not be grading you on your position, I just want to see that you understand the dynamic. For example, about one quarter of all Medicare spending goes toward care for people during their last year of life. Items to include
Patient Populations with corresponding segments, ex, gender, age groups, top 10 disease states Give ratios, counts, segments, you can use charts and graphs
Overview of Payors, e.g. Commercial/Private, Medicare, Medicaid Don’t forget healthcare spend on each
Don’t forget to mention Medicare Advantage Make sure you complete the pie, that you account for the overall spend Make sure the include the ACA markets and how they are subsidized both federally and at the state-level.
Make sure to include forecasts on the growth of healthcare spend Make sure to include forecasts on the Medicare Trust going belly-up. This is a major point
Overview of Healthcare Services Hospitals
Out-patient clinics
Private and Group practices
Health clinics Make sure to include their overall percentages of healthcare delivery.
Make sure to note the Tax implications for each, e.g. For-profit and not-for-profit w/ their designations

GE Centricity

Additional Notes:
Everything must be referenced in APA style
You must do your own research
This is a general overview of the Healthcare system, a look from 30,000 feet. Don’t spend too much time on any one area, they are all important. As the course progresses we will dive deeper into each section w/ an emphasis/perspective on Healthcare Management.
